But there was no food in the brigade warehouse, and naturally the members had no food either. In order to survive, everyone started digging wild vegetables, eating grass roots and tree bark every day.

Soon the wild vegetables were gone, the grass roots were eaten up, and the tree bark was gone.

The people in the village began to flee, but in fact there was famine everywhere and fleeing would not solve the problem at all.

Most people died of starvation along the way.

The old lady waved her hand and said, "Just go if I tell you to. I'm not going to harm you."

"But remember one thing: don't let anyone find out."

Xu Manyue nodded and said, "Mom, I'll go tonight."

The old lady was wise and probably realized that the cafeteria was about to be disbanded.

Mrs. Shen and Lin Luoxia also nodded quickly, "Mom, let's do it tonight."

The old lady thought for a moment and said, "When it gets dark, I'll go with you."

She was really worried about these three people. If they were discovered, she would have to go out and clean up the mess.

After explaining everything, since there was nothing else to do, the old lady asked everyone to go back to the house and lie down to save energy.

There is not much work in the fields now. The old people and women go to work occasionally, while the young and strong men go out to dig wells and find water sources for work.

Boss Shen, Second Boss Shen and the others followed the captain out early in the morning.

Shen Jianping, the fourth child in the family, would sleep after eating every day and basically stayed in bed every day. He said that he was very hungry and wanted to save energy.

After Xu Manyue returned to the house.

Start looking at your own transformation system.

The transformation system can be upgraded, and her current transformation system is a basic system.

Transformation value can only be exchanged for food, such as rice, flour, etc.

The first time you upgrade the system, you will need to spend two thousand transformation points.

After the upgrade, the system can conduct transformation valuation for specific people.

When the host transforms the in-laws into people who are positive about the family, the host will receive 500 yuan.

When the host transforms the in-laws into people who are useful to the masses, the host can get two thousand yuan.

When the host transforms the in-laws into people who are useful to the country, the host can get 10,000 yuan.

This money can be withdrawn to real life or used for purchases in the system mall.

The system mall not only has a large variety of food and daily necessities, but also various books, technologies, medicines, etc.

Now you can marry a wife for just a few dollars, and even in the brigade, many farmers can only earn a few dollars a year.

The wages of workers in the city are generally only 20 to 30 yuan per month.

Xu Manyue relied on the wedding gift and the money Shen Jingming gave her, and she only had a little over 50 yuan in total.

Not to mention getting two thousand yuan, even if it was five hundred yuan, she couldn't imagine how happy she would be.

As for the ten thousand yuan, Xu Manyue couldn't even imagine how huge a sum of money that would be.

What's more, there are more than ten people in the Shen family. As long as she rolls up her sleeves and works hard, let alone a famine, it will not be a problem for her to reach the peak of her life.

Xu Manyue looked at her transformation value, which was a little over one hundred, but less than two hundred.

She browsed around the mall again and bought a few pastries that didn't taste that great, spending ten transformation points.

Xu Manyue tasted it and found it fragrant, soft, sweet, and with a hint of honey.

It's delicious, but expensive.

Ten transformation points are enough to buy a pound of corn grits, which can be cooked into porridge to feed the whole family for five or six days.

Xu Manyue looked at the big meat bun she had been longing for. It had a thin skin and a large filling. Every bite was filled with the aroma of greasy meat.

And it only takes six transformation values.

As she thought about it, she couldn't help swallowing.

But at this time, Mrs. Shen's voice was heard outside, and Xu Manyue quickly regained her composure.

No, you can't eat it now.

People nowadays have little fat in their stomachs, they are very hungry, and their noses are not very sensitive.

As long as she took out a meat bun, not only the Shen family, but also the neighbors around would smell the fragrance and come over.

Xu Manyue sighed and reluctantly closed the system mall.

Let's wait until night.

When she went out to pick wild vegetables at night, she first separated from the Shen family, and under the pretext of picking wild vegetables, she secretly prepared a special meal for herself.

I lay in bed hungry all day, had some wild vegetable porridge at noon, and endured the whole afternoon until it was finally dark.

The old lady called everyone together, and all the men, women and children in the family squeezed into one room.

She quickly assigned tasks to everyone. "Too many people will make it easy to be discovered. Form groups of two or three and go to different places to dig wild vegetables."

"Big brother, you and your wife are in one group. Second brother, you and your wife are in one group, and I will be in one group with the third brother's wife."

After sorting the people out, the old lady looked around, counted them, turned around and pulled Shen Jianping, who was still lying on the bed, over.

"Fourth Brother, you have to go too. You'll be in the same group with me and your third sister-in-law."

"Don't even think about being lazy."

Shen Jianping suddenly collapsed, hugged the old lady's thighs tightly, and cried out to the sky.

"Mom, can't I just wait for you guys to come back home? I'm almost starving to death from eating that little wild vegetable porridge every day. How can I have the energy to dig wild vegetables?"

The old lady felt a little reluctant and was about to say forget it when Shen Lao San slapped Shen Jianping on the shoulder.

"Mom, you can't spoil him. His sisters-in-law take care of everything for him on weekdays. Even his clothes are washed by my wife."

"That's fine, but these are tough times, and we can't all be left to support him."

The old lady was speechless and could only say the same thing again, "...Big brother, he is your biological brother. He didn't have a good life when he was little. It's not like when you were born, but at least he had enough to eat and drink."

Shen Lao Er sneered. Although he didn't say anything, his expression showed that he was unhappy.

Shen Jianping was unhappy and curled his lips, "Big brother, second brother, what do you mean by this? Mother dotes on me, are you jealous?"

"Besides, this family is supported by my third brother. Without him sending money home every month, would you be able to marry and live so comfortably?"

"Third sister-in-law, isn't that right?" After retorting to his two brothers, Shen Jianping looked at Xu Manyue with a flattering expression.

He has a good relationship with his third brother, who dotes on him, so his third sister-in-law will definitely not ignore him.

In an instant, everyone looked at Xu Manyue, especially Boss Shen, the old lady, and Second Boss Shen.
